How can determine class of IP address in python. I am working with ipaddress module of python.
Following are class definitions
Class Private Networks Subnet Mask Address Range
A 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
B 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.0.0 255.240.0.0 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
C 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Given a IP how can I check if it belongs to Class A, B or C

IPv4
Use ipaddress.IPv4Address and ipaddress.IPv4Network types.
from ipaddress import IPv4Address, IPv4Network
classA = IPv4Network(("10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0")) # or IPv4Network("10.0.0.0/8")
classB = IPv4Network(("172.16.0.0", "255.240.0.0")) # or IPv4Network("172.16.0.0/12")
classC = IPv4Network(("192.168.0.0", "255.255.0.0")) # or IPv4Network("192.168.0.0/16")
I gave you the tuple form as you have the network address and mask but if you prefer the /X (CIDR standard) suffix it also accepts it. There are actually some additional ways.
To use it you will just check if a certain IPv4Address is in the IPv4Network as if you were checking in an element is found inside a list:
ip1 = IPv4Address("10.0.2.8")
ip2 = IPv4Address("172.18.76.25")
ip3 = IPv4Address("192.168.45.62")
ip1 in classA # True
ip2 in classA # False
ip3 in classA # False
ip1 in classB # False
ip2 in classB # True
ip3 in classB # False
ip1 in classC # False
ip2 in classC # False
ip3 in classC # True
IPv6
Use ipaddress.IPv6Address and ipaddress.IPv6Network types instead and correct IPv6 ip strings when creating the objects.
Generic
If both supporting IPv4 and IPv6 is desired, ipaddress.ip_address and ipaddress.ip_network convenience factory functions can be used, and the module will create the appropiate IPv4 or IPv6 class depending on the string format.
